Volunteers for Community Impact and the RSVP program need adult volunteers age 55+ to be mentors to children ages 7 to 15. Your commitment is one hour per week.
You will provide guidance and leadership to youth to model and reinforce appropriate social behavior, provide nurturing support and encouragement, engage in education-related activities to enrich the child’s appreciation for academic skills and foster self-esteem. Change a child's life for the better and become a mentor!
Before volunteering, RSVP members undergo an orientation and training before being placed in community organizations.
Why volunteer with Volunteers for Community Impact? We provide training, a background check, supplemental insurance, and recognition to RSVP volunteers at no charge. RSVP is federally funded by the Corporation for National and Community Service.
